I often wonder if you watch the same team as me

I watch the Cas Tigers who play on Wheldon Road and wear black and Amber. Which one do you watch

That's exactly what I was thinking. I would be willing to give him another year providing he can stay relatively injury free

Is this for real?? What would you sit down with Isa and say 'come on now Willie...tell me the truth...are you going to stay injury free next year?, because if you are then we'll give you a new contract...but if your not then we're not going to extend your contract.....C'mon Willie tell the truth now, injured or not injured next year...what's it gonna be ???' LOL

All I can say is that some are easier to please than others. I do go to 'almost' every game. Admittedly being 8,000 miles away stopped me going to the Crusaders game, but I'll be there on Sunday....I'm easy to spot, I'm the one without the Cas rose tinted glasses.

I'm sure Willie really asked for injuries. Dear me. Pay as you play. Sorted.

I'd go with that, Pay as you Play

My comment was really just to say, unfortunately there is already a track record of injury. Hence, giving him another years contract 'if he's not going to be injured' (as a previous post suggested) is well and truly crystal ball territory tainted by the fact that he does seem injury prone. 'Pay as you play' would seem to be the way to go, but I guess agents and contracts would protect him from that exposure and risk these days!

I think that what people see with Isa is raw energy and enthusiasm. That isn't a bad thing, however IMO this energy needs to be refined before he can be regarded as a quality player in his position. Its just like comparing a fighter and a boxer. The furious energy of a 'fighter' can be impressive to many at times. However, put them 'toe to toe' with a quality boxer, and the boxer will proceed to take them appart!

If he plays another game this season, against a quality opposing centre, let's review after the game. As a Cas supporter I of course hope he has a blinder!!!

Are any SL players actually on a pay as you play deal? What are the salary cap implications of such contracts?

TBH i dont know, id imagine not many players would agree to it in reality, as they might be able to get a regular income guaranteed from a lower division club,

But good question, how could you account for it in the salary cap, We would have to ask the Goons on that one

Easy. You budget for them playing every game.

As per Terry Matterson'spost match comments Isa is hoping to be back for the Saints game

If fit for the semi-final he could easily silence all his critics in just 80 minutes.

Him and Joe Arundel in the centres could do some serious damage against Senior-less Leeds.

Fozzard is iirc.
